A CLUB HOUSE BURNED.

CHICAGO, November Sat nearly 4 o'clock
this morning fire was discovered in the Chicago
club, in Monroe street, directly opposite the
ladies' entrance to the Palmer house. BY the
time the first relay engines had ratified up to
fifth floor and were bursting from the windows
On all sides, while signs of fire could be seen
on the fourth floor. A general alarm was
promptly turned in, and in fifteen minutes a
score of engines, hook and ladder trucks and
hose carts Numbered down the street and
clamored up to the fire. A wild panic followed
at the Palmer house. AT the windows on
Monroe street appeared hundred frightened
faces, peering into the streets, and at the sight
of the steamers, rush for escape followed, un-
der the impression that the hotel was on fire.
Half clad ladies and gentlemen tumbled out
into the halls and shreked wildly for help.
All the bell boys were promptly sent to the
rooms of guests and with the aid of clerks sue
ceeded in calming the panic, though many of
the guests refused to return to their rooms I'M
til the hose carts had reeled up their hose and
with other apparatus had started home. Half
dozen club members, and as many women,
who are employed about the club, were asleep
in the building at the time. They had no
warming of the flames until the firemen rushed
into their apartments and pulled them out
bodily.
The fire started on the fifth floor, in the
kitchen, from defective flue, it is supposed,
or a carelessly smothered fire in the range.
Leads of hose were run on all high buildings,
entirely surrounding the club and half hun
dred streams of water poured into it from all
the windows

Another Clue to the st. Louis Explosion Dis
covered.

ST. LOUIS, November 4.-Officers Stone and
Palmer, detailed to watch the ruins of the
Fourteenth street explosion, while walking
over the debris last night at 10: 80 o'clock, un-
enrthed an iron hemisphere, which, on exami-
nation proved to be the remains of dyna-
mite bomb. The internal machine was carried
to police headquarters, and the cause again re-
verted TO the dynamite theory, the rank and
file of police seeing absolute proof of the fiend's
work in the latest discovery Detectives, how
ever, were mistaken in their belief that the
catastrophe was purely an accident, as they can
find no motive for the deed and the bomb was
found among the debris that had been care
fully oyerhauled the day before.
They are open in their assertions that the
bomb was placed there yesterday by some Of
the sensationalists, who have been writing let
ters to the police and newspapers, declaring
that they were given five hundred dollars ito
do the job" Already half a dozen cranks have
sent as many letters to each of the st. Louis
papers claiming that they were the agents of
the horrible crime

A HORRIBLE WHOLESALE POISONING

NEW ORLEANS, November IA special
from Delhi, La, gives the particulars Of a nor
ribc wholesale poisoning on Friday evening
last. George G. King, who resides four or five
miles southwest Of Lamar, gave dance and
supper at his residence. After supper was
nearly overall the guests were taken violently
sick and a doctor was sent for, who pronounced
the sickness caused by poison Of some kind and
was unable to render much relief. George
King, j. Ben King, Walter Bell, Lee Ford,
John O'Brien, Jr., Miss Minnie Brown, all
white, and Zeke Hill colorcd, have since died,
and wife of Zcke Hin and his six children. Asa
Ford and six children, white Mrs. Louis King
and children. Fronie Walker and child, ono Of
the Dunham boys Bruce Spires and Iiilliard
Butler, wife and children are dangerously sick,
but were alive at last accounts. Abe Wash
burne was quite sick, but is now ont Of danger.
No motive can be assigned for the dastardly
decd. The cook Isl not supposed to be guilty, rs
she is dangerously sick and her husband and
one on two Of her children are dead.

Her Captain Was Drunk at the Time the
Vessel Sunk.

CuCAGo, November Edgar Hall, brother
Of the second engineer of the wrecked pro-
pellcr, Vernon, stated yesterday that the last
time his brother was in Chicago he told him
that Captain Thorp, master Of the Vernon,
had an attack of delirium tremens while on
top Of the pilot house.
Axel Stone, the only survivor of the disaster,
when asked if he ever saw Captain Thorp
drunk, replied:
"Ihe captain was drunk most Of the time
and he was very drunk when we left Sheboy-
gan last week While we were coming through
tic straits the second mate said to him: Sober
up, you drunken beast, and take care Of
this boat and the people, The captain told
him to 90 to hell. l was in the cabin at tho
time and heard every word that was said.
Friday night, which was the night that the
steamer was lost, the captain was as drunk as
/ ever saw him, and he kept taking a drink
every little while from a bottle that he carried
in his coat pocket. [ guess that is why the first
mate stayed on deck all the time. He knew
that the captain was so drunk that he hardly
know what he was about, and was probably
afraid the captain would do something foolish.
II tho captain had been sober, don't believe
the vessel would have been lost, for any sober
man would have turned back when he saw how
badly She acted in the big sea. Both mates of
the Vernon were captains who had taken
mates borths for the lack of better employ
ment.
